Pictures from Honduras

We are in Copán Ruinas and Isaac is having fun climbing the stairs.

Isaac and Mark are eating a big Baleada which is a flour tortilla filled with refried beans, traditional Honduran cheese a cream.

Isaac wants to throw himself out his mom's arms.

Mark and the boy again.

Do you see how beutiful this is?
Like I said before come and visit and we'll take you here.

The Sanders Family visiting one of the most famous Mayan Ruins.

Beautiful Macaws outside the ruins

This is the museum in Copán Ruinas.

And here is Mark picking his lip and reading.

Keyla and Isaac in a place call Aguas Termales (Thermal Springs) The water here is really nice, it is a beautiful place with a few pools that have natural hot and warm water that comes from underneath the earth. When you come here you never want to get out because the water is so relaxing.

See what I told you, even babies enjoy it.

Isaac and Mark swiming at one of the pools.

Mark and Keyla visiting one small Mayan Town call El Puente (the bridge).
It is about 10 Km from where Keyla is from.

Mark at the top of a Mayan building.

Poor Isaac was sweating because Honduras is really really hot.

Keyla and Isaac having a fun time in the Hammock.

This is Isaac's little friend from upstairs.
Isn't she cute?

Isaac sleeping. Tired after a month of traveling, he was glad to finally have his own place to sleep without any noises or mosquitos.

Here are more pictures of the apartment.

We finally have a place to sit.

We live on the second floor...

...on the right.


This is the view from the terrace on top of our building.

Our new apartment

Here is Isaac wearing his dad's hat and having fun in the apartment now that we finally have one.



We just moved to our new apartment and we finally got internet.
I'm sorry we haven't been in touch for so long, but it has been crazy. I can't believe it's been a month since we came from the U.S, but it's been a good and a different experience.
Here are some pictures from the last month and we promise we'll try to update our blog as often as we can now that we have internet.

This is our kitchen

This is the view from our balcony, we think this is a nice place and anyone who would like to come visit is welcome.








This is our hallway and there is Isaac walking all over the apartment which is what he does all day long since he started walking about 3 weeks ago.










This is the balcony door and part of our living room. -->







This is Isaac's room, we have an extra bed that will be taken out soon, so we can put a crib where the small bed is.









This is the ceiling in our apartment.

He can climb and... uh...unclimb?

Isaac has learned to climb off the bed (without making a headfirst dive for the floor). The pro to all this is that he no longer makes the aforementioned dives. The con, well when he is done getting nursed (that would be his definition of done and not his mother's) he can more effectively run away from his mother and get back to what he does best: search and destroy.

Vamos a Honduras...

I know it's been a while since we have updated this blog- sorry we're not as good as Liz and Laura at this. We just wanted to let everyone know that we are moving to Honduras this summer. We have decided (w/ lot's of prayer) that it is time to finish Keyla's immigration situation. We will be leaving sometime in August (we think) and the whole process should take about 6-8 months to resolve.

I am really excited about living in another country. Keyla is not as excited about leaving behind the things she has gotten used to living in the US (and when it come to having to leave behind my peanut-butter I get a little sad as well) And my mom is a little less than excited that we are taking her grandson out of the country. We both believe that this is all for a purpose and that everything will go well. We will have internet while there (I will need it to work) and so hopefully we will get better at updating the blog. You can email us while we're down there and we will also have a US phone number so you can call us. Anyone who is looking for an excuse to leave the country is welcome to come visit us. I never know how to end these posts so...

Angel Pictures

I took Isaac to JC Penney studio to get some pictures done. They had the angel background and wings and I couldn't resist buying. So I guess Mark will have to get another job to pay for all the pictures. (note from Mark: I have done the count and we "officially" have 2.3 photos for every day that Isaac has been alive who-yaa )


Llevé a Isaac al estudio de JC Penny para sacar unas fotos. Como tenían ya las alas y el escenario no pude resistir. Parece que Mark va a tener que agarrar otro trabajo para pagar por todas las fotos. (nota de Mark: He hecho las cuentas y tenemos "oficialmente" 2,3 fotos por cada día que Isaac tiene de vida.)
